"Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it. Do something else to it."
- Jasper Johns
Day 1 - June 12, 2026 - I had the pleasure of spending the day with my Dulcinia Del Prado Magico. I say it so casually, as if it is a normal circumstance. Ha! I would have better odds of picking a winning 10 number lottery ticket. The day was fascinating and rich in a most important realm - Presence. Presence leads to interest which leads to conversation which leads to imagination and dreams.
The day began as usual (for the past four days), walking to the magic meadow to drop the morning offerings. I offered the day's walk and any peace, calm and joy I could generate to my Dulcinia Del Prado Magico. I discovered the meadow library was closed for the day so I sat at a pleasant outdoors table which overlooks the pond and ate a small breakfast.
Later in the day I received a text from my Dulcinia and we decided to meet at the lake bench. I had a splendid time with Dulcinia and her gentle dog Milky. I was asked to write a daily entry to document and bear witness to Dulcinia's pilgrimage, which begins today. I was also asked to write about something we discussed while sitting on the lake bench, but i can't recall the thread of that moment.
We returned to Dulcinia's mystery theater where we ate Thai red curry vegetables and watched Darjeeling Express. Many thanks to my Dulcinia Del Prado Magico for a wonderful first day of pilgrimage.
